Application led June 19, 1920. Serial No. $90,063.

T o all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RUDOLPH HOLMAN, a citizen of the United States, anda resident of the city 'of Chicago, county of Cook, and State ofIllinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in PaperVessels, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in paper vessels adapted for use asdrinki cups,'ice cream dishes, and the like, and has for its object therovision of an improved construction of this character by means of whicha satisfactory vessel of this kind may be provided which is of simpleconstruction, eti'cient in use and capable of economical manufacture.

`@ther objects will appear hereinafter.

The invention consists in the'combinations and arrangements of partshereinafter described and claimed.

The invention will be bestv understood by reference to the accompanyingdrawings forming a part of this specification, and 1n which,

Fig. 1 is a plan view of a blank employed in making a vessel embodyingthe invention,

Fig. 2, a top plan view vof a completed vessel,

Fig. 3, a side view of said vessel shown partially in section,

Fig. 4, a plan view of a blank for making a vessel of different shape,

Fig. 5, atop plan view of said vessel completed, and y Fig.'6, a sideview of the same shown partially4 in section.

The form of construction illustrated in tFigs. 1, 2 and 3 consists of apaper blank 7 cut with its upper edge 8 and its lower edge 9 on the arcsof concentric circles. @ne end 10 of said blank is cut substantiallyparallel to a medial radius of said blank, and the' other end 11 is cutat an acute angle to said' radius, thus formlng said ends at dierentradial angles as shown. The edge 10 makes with the radius running to itsouter end (the upper end in Figure 1) a clockwise angle, that isthe edgeles on the right side of the radius as one looks from the center vthearcs 8 and 9 toward the outer end of 1 the same way, the edge 11 makesan angle v, with the radius rainning to its outer end which is alsoclockwise. Because both of these angles are clockwise, the edges 10 andby glue or other suitable adhesive.

Inv

Fig. 3, said overlapped edgejoeing then secured together by glue orother suitable adhesive. The bottom of the vessel consists of a paperdisc 14 inserted in the bottom of the vessel and the tongues 13 arefolded inwardly and secured to the bottom of said disc In this way, astrong and durable cup, capable of standing alone is provided.

The modified form of construction illustrated in Figs. 4, 5 and 6,consists of a vessel adapted for use as an ice cream dish and comprisesa blank 15 of slightly di'erent shape, said blank being formed with itsupper and lower edges'cut on concentric circles of very much smallerradii, thus adapting the blank to the formation of a vessel of shallowconical form as indicated in Figs. 5 and 6, and adapted for use as anice cream dish or the like. The ends 16 and 17 of the -blank 15 are alsocut as shown at slightlyl the other side thereof. Otherwise, theconstruction is substantially the same as that already described.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred forms ofconstruction for carrying my invention into eect, these .are capable ofvariation and modification withlout departing from the spirit of the invention. I, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the precise detailsset forth, but desire .to avail myself of such variatlons andmodications ascome within the scope of the appended claims.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent is 1. A aper vessel having wallsA made from a blankaving its upper and lower edges c ut substantially on the arcs ofconcentric ein' cles, and its ends cut at dierent radiai an v gles, saidblank being bent into conical form seam; and a bottom member consistingof a disc secured to the lower edges of said walls.

2. A paper vessel having walls made from a blank having its upper andlower edges cut substantially on the arcs of concentric circles, and itsends cut at different radial angles, said lblank being bent into conicalform with its ends overlapped to form an inclined seam; and a bottommember consisting of a disc inserted in the lower end of said vessel,the lower edges of said walls being folded under and secured to thebottom -of said disc.

3. A paper vessel having walls made froma blank having its upper andlower edges cut substantially on the arcs of concentric cir-` cles, andits ends cut at different radial angles, said blank being bent intoconical form with its ends overlappedto form an inclined seam; and abottom member consisting of a disc inserted in the lower end of saidvessel, the lower edges of said walls being slitted to form tongues, andsaid tongues being foldedl iinwardly and secured to the bottom of saidisc.

4; A paper Vessel having walls made up of 'a blank having its upper andlower edges cut substantially on the arcs of concentric circles, and oneof its ends cut substantially parallel with a medial radius, the otherend being cut at an acute angle to said radius, said blank being bentint-o conical form with its ends overlapped to form an inclined seam; da bottom member consisting of a disc inserted into the lower end ofsaidl vessel, the lower edges of said walls being slitted to formtongues, and said tongues being bent inwardly and secured to the bottomof said disc.

5. A blank for paper cups including a strip of material Ahaving two ofits ed es in the form of circular arcs with one o said edges slotted toform tongues, and with its ends cut at different radial angles.

6. A blank for paper cups including a strip of material having twoof'its edges in the form of concentric circular arcs with one 'of saidedges slotted to form tongues, atid with 'its ends cut at diiierentradial ang es.

7. A blank for paper cups including a strip of material having twoof itsed es in the form of circular arcs with one o said ed es slotted to formtongues, and with one of lts ends cut substantially parallel with themedial radius of the circles, the other end being cut at an acute angleto said radius.

8. A cup formed from sheet material and having' a conical wall with aseam oblique to the elements of the cone.

9. A cup formed from sheet material and 'having a conical wall with aseam of uniform width, the edges of said material along said seam beingat an angle to tlie elements of the cone. y

10. A blank for forming a conical vessel, said blank having two edges inthe form of arcs of concentric circles and two edges intermediate thefirst-named edges, one of said intermediate edges making an angle withthe radius to its outer end and the other of said intermediate edgesmaking an angle with the radius to its outer end, the said angles beingAalike and in the same direction whereby when said blank is formed intothe frusturn of a cone with said intermediate edges forming a seam, theseam will be at an angle to the elements of the cone.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

RUDOLPH HOLMAN.
